Au accident happened last Fri-
day to the east-bound U. P. express

Mr. M. O'Hern, living south of

A J. Arnold was coufined to
his room last week by indisposition

the snow blockade of the railroad

with scarlet fever. Al. was around

John McMahon recently made to
Kansas was to bring back J. H.
Bronelette, under bond at this place
to answer the charge of burglary.
Mac. found bis man, but he was
under sentence for a like crime;
court being iu session there at the
time the offense was committed, he
was immediately "sent up" for fif
teen months.
Hearing that considerable apprc
heuisiou of an overflow of the Loup
this spring existed with many of our
citizens, aud more especially with
those who are the most interested
the residents of the bottom portion
of the citymany of whom were
making arrangements to move out
of their houses, our teporter made
inquiry aud found that the fear was
based upon the fact that overflows
have occurred previous to this from
causes which iu part exist at the
present time. Probably the most
disastrous flood that has ever occur
red in the momory of the oldest
settlers in these parts from anv canse
happened in the spring of 18C7. Mr.
John Rickly who distinctly remem
bers the incidents connected with
the cause and the results, says that
the winter was very much such 'as
the past months of the present win
ter have been, except that, as he
thinks, more snow fell, and there
was not so much continued cold
weather; but the ice in the rivers is
probably not as thick now as it was
in the corresponding month of that
season, owing to the fact that it was
built upon at night from -the surface
by the water which ran over it dur
ing the day, this forming layer after
layer after both rivers W9re iu many
places frozen to the bottom. The
direct cause of the overflow of the
Loupe at that time was a gorge at
the TJ. P. railroad bridge, west of the
citv, the water forcing its way out
over the bottom and through the
road bed, which acted only as a
short impediment to the water on
its way down the course of the river.
More serious result?, however, were
brought about by another gorge
forming near Buck Island, below the
city, while the water was tempo
rarily dammed by the gorge and the
railroad embankment above The
water set back from this point,
and being met by the downward
rush of the flood from above, cover
ed the bottom in most places to the
depth of several feet, iu a very short
time. This happened in the latter
part of the month of March or the
first of April, with warm rains pre
vailing, causing a sudden rupture of
the ice above. The main causes of
the gorge at the bridge, aud which
appear in fact the principal causes of
the overflow, have no comparison
with the present coudition of things,
as the structure mentioned was at
that time a temporary pile concern,
with comparatively no water way,
and the inevitable result of a sudden
break-up was the demolishing of the
bridge or a gorge. Beliering our
readers in general to be capable of
reasoning for themselves, and that
those at present on the bottom will
bring their good sense and judg
ment to bear and look the facts and
possibilities square in the face before
deciding to sacrifice anything of in
terest or comfort by leaviug their
abodes, we give the above facts,
which show that even in case of a
sudden breaking-up of the rivers,
they are in no certain danger of
being flooded. But it might be well
enough to take all possible precau
tion to avoid loss aud damage, in
case of a repitition of past events.
We are inlorined that arrangements
will be made to have telegraphic
communication sent immediately
from Genoa on the Loup aud St.
Paul on the Middle Fork to this place,
in case of a sudden rupture of the
ice at those points that is likely to
endanger our city.
The fair, sociable and supper
given by the ladies of the Presbyte
rian church, Weduesday and Thurs
day evenings of last week can be
classed among the very pleasant
social events of the winter. We learn
the church was packed full of happy
humanity the first evening and that
all went home feeling amply repaid
for their attendance, in an evening
of quiet social intercourse and the
partaking of a regular feast iu the
way of supper prepared by the la
dies. That such was the case seems
quite evident, as our reporter on
Thursday evening about 8 o'clock
found the church again crowded and
everybody apparently highly pleas
ed and having a good time. With
social intercourse, music and feast
ing the evening passed all too rap
idly away. If we were given to
ecstatic outbursts our readers might
look for some very handsome utter
ances in regard to the popper. It
was excellent ; to our taste, incom
parably so. We had like to have
forgotten one particular featnre of
the occasion which was advertised
the weighing of the ladies, which was
carried out the first evening but
was dropped the second why, we
don't know. May be the little la
dies were jealous of the popularity
of their larger sisters. The net
proceeds of the two evenings
amounted to upwards of $60. An
other one of these sociables will be
given in June.
--
Quite a mixture of overshoes
occurred at the Presbyterian fair
Thursday evening. Byron Millett
says that the pair he was compelled
to accept in lieu of his own are too
old for service, and too large in size
for even his ample understanding,
and storage being something of an
item with him, would like to have
the owner take them off hiB hands.
Another young gentleman of our
acquaintance found mated with one
of his own a strange shoe, of slim,
delicate patern, evidently intended
for ladles wear, which may be had
by application at this office.
Our reporter was asked the otli
or day if he know that 15-cl.cr A
Price were putting iu a b.i: in con
nection with their insurance otlice.
As the query se med to indicate au
item of more than ordinary interest
the mattor was inquired iuto, which
developed the tact that a commodi
ous counter for their abstract books
is being made and will soon add to
the convenience of tfieir well ap
pointed office.
It is now a settled fact thai Co

county affairs and all other mitters
of general interest. We belie- the
paper in size will beau eight-column

In a conversation with Mijor
Frank North on Saturday last we
learned from him that the evening
previous he had received word irom
hiB brother "Lute" (who is now on
their ranch ou the Dismal looking
to their stock iuterests,) to the effect
that their cattle are in a much better
condition than was anticipated a
week ago. The Texas yearlings
purchased last season have suffered
most, but the older stock are doing
admirably well, considering the ex
treme stormy and cold weather we
have experienced in Xebraska this
winter.
The Decorah (Iowa) Republican
has a few complimentary words to
say of our new banking firm, Messrs.
Anderson & Roen. We let the item
speak for itself: "Mr. Ole T. Roen
bade all his Decorah friends mod
bye ou Monday, aud left to find his
new home in Columbus, Neb. Iu
connection with Mr. A. Ander.on,
formerly of Calmar, a banking, in
surance and real estate busine-s 'ias
been established at that place. Mr.
A. has been iu charge of it up to the
present, aud now Mr. Roen joins
him. Both members of the firm are
gentlemen of probity and thorough
ly good business habits. Mr. R.
especially has had thorough training,
iu the First National Bank of this
city, for this business, and possesses
the entire confidence of all. In a
business and social way he will be
come a valuable aud valued acquisi
tion to any community, particularly
a new one."

BOUND TO MAKK THK INAUGURA
TION A BIO THING.
"With its accustomed spirit and en
terprise the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company has entered iuto
the plaus for the inauguration ot
President Garfield. With great vim
and energy it has determined to
leave no stoue un tinned to meet
every demand upon the road for
luxurious and rapid transit from the
west to Washington and return. The
Baltimore and Ohio has the advan
tage of possessing the only direct
line from the west to Washington,
and as the trains of all other lines are
carried round by circuitous routes
the Baltimore and Ohio trains reach
Washington no less than seven good
long hours ahead of them. To the
people from this section of the coun
try and the Rockies, the saving of a
half day's time, or a full day's time
iu the round trip, is a matter ol no
meau importance. As the tickets
of all lines are limited to a certain,
specified time, this saving of a Jay
is not only such as regards the wear
and tear of travel, but gives the pas
sengers just that much longer time
to spend in the city. The Baltimore
and Ohio tickets, which will be pla
ced at a very low figure, go on sale
on the first instant, and will be good
to return up to and including the
Beventh. The price of these tickets
will be very low, and they will call
for the best accommodations within
the gift of the company, and it may
be truthfully said of them that no
road can boast of better, if, indeed
as good.
